Grids enable the aggregation, virtualization and sharing of massive heterogeneous and geographically dispersed resources, using files, applications and storage devices, to solve computation and data intensive problems, across institutions…
In the Cloud-Edge Continuum, dynamic infrastructure change and variable workloads complicate efficient resource management. Centralized methods can struggle to adapt, whilst purely decentralized policies lack global oversight. This paper…
This paper proposes a novel approach to scaling distributed collaboration in mixed reality by virtualizing collaborative tasks as independent, installable environments. By mapping group activities into dedicated virtual spaces that adapt to…
With increasing availability of communication and control infrastructure at the distribution systems, it is expected that the distributed energy resources (DERs) will take an active part in future power systems operations. One of the main…
Web caches, content distribution networks, peer-to-peer file sharing networks, distributed file systems, and data grids all have in common that they involve a community of users who generate requests for shared data. In each case, overall…
The level of autonomy is increasing in systems spanning multiple domains, but these systems still experience failures. One way to mitigate the risk of failures is to integrate human oversight of the autonomous systems and rely on the human…
The rapid deployment of autonomous AI agents creates urgent challenges around authorization, accountability, and access control in digital spaces. New standards are needed to know whom AI agents act on behalf of and guide their use…
Grids provide uniform access to aggregations of heterogeneous resources and services such as computers, networks and storage owned by multiple organizations. However, such a dynamic environment poses many challenges for application…
Distributed energy systems with prosumers require new methods for coordinating energy exchange among agents. Coalitional control provides a framework in which agents form groups to cooperatively reduce costs; however, existing bottom-up…
Clusters, grids, and peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have emerged as popular paradigms for next generation parallel and distributed computing. The management of resources and scheduling of applications in such large-scale distributed systems is…
The rapid growth of wearable sensor technologies holds substantial promise for the field of personalized and context-aware Human Activity Recognition. Given the inherently decentralized nature of data sources within this domain, the…
In societal-scale decision-making systems the collective is faced with the problem of ensuring that the derived group decision is in accord with the collective's intention. In modern systems, political institutions have instatiated…
The widespread emergence of the Internet as a platform for electronic data distribution and the advent of structured information have revolutionized our ability to deliver information to any corner of the world. Although Service Oriented…
When governments mandate collaboration, shared data systems can serve both as tools for coordination and instruments of control. This study examines U.S. homelessness service networks, where Continuums of Care (CoCs) coordinate service…
Data has become a crucial resource in the digital economy, fostering initiatives for secure and sovereign data sharing frameworks such as Data Spaces. However, these distributed environments require fine-grained access control mechanisms…
The Globus Data Grid architecture provides a scalable infrastructure for the management of storage resources and data that are distributed across Grid environments. These services are designed to support a variety of scientific…
The edge of the network has the potential to host services for supporting a variety of user applications, ranging in complexity from data preprocessing, image and video rendering, and interactive gaming, to embedded systems in autonomous…
Recommender systems assist users in navigating complex information spaces and focus their attention on the content most relevant to their needs. Often these systems rely on user activity or descriptions of the content. Social annotation…
Decentralized resource allocation is a key problem for large-scale autonomic (or self-managing) computing systems. Motivated by a data center scenario, we explore efficient techniques for resolving resource conflicts via cooperative…
The effective usages of computational resources are a primary concern of up-to-date distributed applications. In this paper, we present a methodology to reason about resource usages (acquisition, release, revision, ...), and therefore the…
